Khudra Corporation: Expanding Venture Studio in Nepal

Venture Studio is relatively new but a novel and revolutionary concept in Nepal. Aspiring entrepreneurs and company founders may have come across this word and wondered what it meant. In a nutshell, a venture studio seeks to establish several businesses in a short period of time. It's a novel approach to entrepreneurship that combines company formation with venture capital.

Venture studios help entrepreneurs grapple with the unknowns of building a new company by providing them with an initial capital amount and operational support. A venture studio's goal is to build as many successful startups as possible, all from the ground up. Venture Studio is more like your co-founder and long term partner that sticks with you for a long time through thick and thin.

Venture Studio scenario in Nepal

In the past decade, Nepal has seen a surge in entrepreneurship. Many VC firms and FDIs rose as a result of this, yet Venture Studio is still unheard of. Despite some attempts to implement this approach, it went widely ignored in the Nepalese economy. Amid a chaotic system, Khudra was founded in 2018 to improve the startup ecosystem in Nepal. Khudra is a one-of-a-kind venture studio where daring innovators gather to develop legendary companies.

Brief History of Khudra

Khudra was founded in late 2018 by Shashank Das and Sakshyat Khadka. Initially, it was a small rural-enterprise partner that worked with partner organizations such as Atharva Initiations and IME Pay to help provide support and financial literacy to Nepal's rural populations. During the tour, the founders observed that the scenario for urban firms in Nepal was difficult, and thus the concept of a venture studio was formed.

Khudra has grown into a full-service venture company with operations in Singapore and Nepal. In a nutshell, it is a platform for startups, companies, and entrepreneurs to take their ideas to the next level.

Khudra as of today

Khudra made a big impact in the preceding fiscal year by venturing into a travel tech business in Singapore, an ed-tech startup in Nepal, and acquiring a foreign creative firm Yoddha Studios. Khudra strives to enhance its financial performance in the future year by leveraging its talents and portfolio.

The basic agenda Khudra has is to work with bold founders to build legendary companies. It focuses on a segmented group of passionate founders who thrive on making an impact through their startup. Khudra works with startups by sharing equity in their business from the ground up. Providing cross-domain expertise, technical, and business support alongside establishing a brand. Khudra provides long term support, a support that is more like your passionate co-founder and doesn't back out until you are sustainable.

Similarly, the modalities of Khudra are fairly simple. It works in two models; one in which businesses are genuinely investable and scalable; it has sweat equity and takes its exit in Series B preferably but can stay longer if needed. The other one is for the majority; every business can't be investible, and thus that's where the majority of the business falls. In such cases, Khudra either has revenue of profit sharing or compensation accordingly. Khudra doesn't leave any passionate founders behind. Khudra is open to everyone passionate about their ideas.

Khudra has a portfolio of five companies, both in Singapore and Nepal and has worked with notable brands around the globe to help them scale; some of them are Urban Tiller, BioSEA, One Cinemas, Vidyarthi, Yoddha Studios, Gojek and more. With its rooted belief and active involvement in the startup ecosystem, Khudra spires to make an impact in the Nepali startup ecosystem as well.

It invites pitches from all levels of firms and founders, as well as ideas from any domain, to Khudra. All the founders have to do is present their idea to Khudra, who will take it from concept to market. By concentrating on the SDGs and developing a startup-friendly sustainable environment, Khudra aspires to bridge the gap and push young entrepreneurs to achieve their goals.
